Built-in Webcam Not Working - fozzedout - 05-28-2020
I received my PBP today, and just trying out all the features, but for some reason I can't get the built-in webcam to work.
I've tried Kamoso and Cheese - cheese outputs this "cheese-application.vala:214: Error during camera setup: No device found"
Under the /dev/ there is /dev/video0, /dev/video1, /dev/video2. Using that, I've tried smplayer /dev/video0 as well as video1 and video2, but nothing shows.
I've also checked that the webcam is enabled (double flash from [Pine]+[F12]).
Can someone help me diagnose this please?
RE: Built-in Webcam Not Working - xmixahlx - 05-28-2020
check if your user is added to the video group
dmesg|grep video
if not detected, toggle the privacy hardware disable and reboot
dmesg again
the camera works, but is not great
RE: Built-in Webcam Not Working - diodelass - 05-28-2020
On my system, the camera is /dev/video3. video0, video1, video2, and video4 are all different handles on the video processing unit, as I understand it, and won't respond correctly when opened under the assumption that they're cameras.
Does yours not have a /dev/video3?
RE: Built-in Webcam Not Working - charlespine - 05-28-2020
I also received my PBP today too! Have you tried enabling it via the privacy switch?

Yes, my user is added to the video group.
Here is my dmesg output (doesn't change if the privacy switch is enabled or disabled):

I tried Manjaro KDE, Debian and Android images, camera did not work in any of those.
I also tried switching the camera off with SUPER + F12, rebooting, switching it back on and rebooting again. Still no luck.
My dmesg | grep video output:

Exiting... (Errors when loading file)I also tried Jitsi Meet and Google Hangouts, both in Firefox and Chromium, Kamoso and Cheese, nothing works.
Is there anything else I could do to check if the camera hardware works?

Actually, your output is different. Notice that you have these lines:
Code:
